1.3 - Where is Kenji?

Lets
solve the question from last chapter first because it was just too
silly to not mention it here. The reason why the cats were scared at
the end of the last chapter was...

...
the exact same burglar as the night before! Argh! Seriously, who
breaks into the same house on two consecutive days? At least this
time Lena was prepared.

The
police came and kicked burglar butt. That should end the burglary for
now, although just to be on the safe side, Lena decides to invest
into an alarm.

We
also congratulate Amy and Katerchen to their second litter!

Say
hello to Bharu (male, left side) and Bok Gil (female, on the right)!
Bok Gil looks a lot like her big sister Amanda, while Bharu has a
very unique look with his cinnamon fur and white mustache, not really
coming after any of his parents.

This
time both kitten inherited their dad's eye color.

Lena
is wearing some weird old clothes nowadays, which are not even
orange. But it's the only stuff she fits into after she mysteriously
put on weight. Worried that it might be a serious medical condition
like Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's she decides to call her doctor one day.

"I
need a doctor's appointment soon, please. I put on a lot of weight
around the belly area and have no explanation, I eat and exercise as
always!"

"Do
you have any other symptoms, ma'am?"

"Well,
now that you say it, I actually do have other symptoms! I have bad
morning sickness and... I think I missed my last period too."

"You're
pregnant."

"Oh."

"And
I can hear cats meowing in the background. Do you have cats, ma'am?
If so, please keep in mind that you may not clean any litter boxes
yourself for the duration of your pregnancy due to the dangers of
toxoplasmosis to your unborn."

"Ah..."

This
will be a fun time.

Lena
doesn't put the phone down yet, there's another number she has to
dial: Kenji's.

They
chit-chat for a while about Anduin and how well he adjusted to his
new home until Lena tells him why she really called him.

"I
found out I'm pregnant and I think you might be the - "

"Pregnant?
Aaah, um, congrats and all, but I reaaally don't have time to talk
now, I have to... uh, visit my llama farm... in Shang Simla. I
probably won't be back for uhm, another 18 years or so. Bye-"

"Wait,
what? You never told me about a llama farm! Hey, you, I'm not done
talking to you yet!"

Beeep.

Lena
is distraught. A child? Financially it should be possible, but does
she really want to devote most of her time to a little human?

It's
hard enough to care for all her cats already, and this is a life
change she definitely hasn't planned for.

The
cats notice her sudden mood change and dirty litter boxes, and even
well-behaved Ava becomes rebellious these days.

(*note: Ava was born
non-destructive but for some reason she autonomously scratches the
paper towels in the bathroom all the time. She really hates them.)

It's mainly the two oldest cats Amy and Katerchen who hold the household together during these times. Lena can be sure that at least her cats will be there for her and won't suddenly emigrate to Shang Simla. Sometimes they even bring chewed on rats and panicked birds as well-meant gifts for her - signs of true love.

9
months (or 3 sim days) later...

"Welcome
to the world, Felicia."

______________________________

I
think this chapter needs a little explanation because it was totally not planned out like this.

My
original plan was that Kenji would be the father of the unborn child
and then disappear/leave her alone when he finds out. Well, the game
took me just a little bit too literal.

He
keeps dis- and reappearing at random it seems... so whether he's truly the father
now or whether Lena hooked up another random guy that night because
she was so frustrated about her boyfriend going invisible will remain
a mystery. I rolled single parent anyway, so whatever :(

Aww! This is such a cute story already. I really liked Kenji because he let the cat have the couch haha... what a dumb reason.But people who are kind to animals are not bad people.Guess she's going to be rolling the dice with the litter boxes :x
